It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Just another movie with a poor portrayal of BDP (Borderline Personality Disorder.) So much so that I don't even think the writers themselves realized that is what they were portraying with Rebecca, but mirroring SWF, Fatal Attraction, etc - that's what it is. Unfortunately the media vilifies and misrepresents BPD to the point where they make people suffering from it "violent" so that they are considered people to fear. Yes, BPD people have a very hard time with dealing with abandonment, be it real or imagined. Yes, they develop intense, unstable relationships in all forms, seeing someone as wonderful and their savior but if scorned, BDP turns those people into "the devil" and the suffering person views the person who has betrayed them (again, real or imagined) as evil.What is NOT common with BPD, and where film takes it COMPLETELY in the wrong direction, is that people suffering from this disorder are far more likely to hurt THEMSELVES rather than others. BDP comes with a very unstable self image. If they get hurt, they feel like they are worthless, not good enough etc etc - and although they may hate the person who made them feel this way, they will engage in self-harming behaviors; cutting, reckless sex, excessive drinking etc - even suicide or attempted suicide to cope. Rarely do they turn their violence on anyone but themselves, yet in all of these movies with the common thread of obsession and instability (telltale signs of BPD) they always "go psycho" and go on a killing spree or attempt to, and of course, it just eggs society on in their ignorant assumptions about people with BPD which makes the sufferers feel that much more lonely, worthless, and outcast. Congrats on ripping off SWF I guess and just recycling misinformation. Sigh.

If you've seen Single White Female, then you've seen this movie. Or just about any thriller for that matter. This will not make you look forward to starting college! A lady is about to start college, and her new roommate seems nice but then starts showing signs of obsession, overprotectiveness, nd jealousy. She soon learns why.This offers nothing new in the originality department, but you might like it if you like thrillers and the stars. I love the scene where the bad roommate sets up the fashion design professor-that was well done. There were also some suspenseful scenes and good college scenes, but you can see everything coming from a mile away. The cast does work well together-I will give them that.** out of ****

The college student Sara Matthews (Minka Kelly) travels from Des Moines, Iowa, to Los Angeles to study fashion design. She befriends Tracy Morgan (Aly Michalka) that invites her to a party, where she meets Stephen (Cam Gigandet) and dates him. When Sara returns to her room, she meets her roommate Rebecca Evans (Leighton Meester) and they become friends. Rebecca is a wealthy teenager that becomes obsessed with Sara and soon Tracy notes that something is wrong with Rebecca. But Rebecca threatens Tracy that moves to another house. Rebecca gets rid of anyone that stays between Sara and her, but when Sara finally observes her behavior, she is also threatened by the schizophrenic roommate. "The Roommate" is an unoriginal thriller of obsession with a storyline that is a rip-off "Single White Female". This teen version has two sexy lead actresses, Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester, and may entertain viewers that are not choosy. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Colega de Quarto" ("Roommate")

The only reason why i continued watching was because of minka and leighton, otherwise this movie wouldve been the worst thriller of all time. It was a pretty bad ending, especially for the psycho girl, and she was almost depicted as dangerous just for having a mental disorder lol. Overall, worth watching if you have nothing to do, Minka was hot etc. Although, the shower scene was kinda scary... lol id be shitting myself if someone did it to me, but thats pretty much the only scary scene which is bad since its a thriller . Im giving it a 5 just because of the eye candy,im sure 90% of you would agree. peace, and only watch if you run out of movies to watch and want to kill time.
